    It's downright gorgeous and a total blast to play alone or with friends. A truly realized vision at the top of its genre, Rayman Origins is an extravaganza with plenty of action to keep it fresh from start to finish and beyond.

    Even so, Rayman: Origins is the best designed, most accessible, vast, gameplay rich and fun platformer that I've played in a very long time. It's nothing short of a Nintendo A-list (which I still think of as the best platforming game developer ever to have graced the market) and could be the beginning of a beautiful series.

    Rayman Origins re-introduces an intense freshness to a genre that many gamers chose to remember by a couple of well-known brand names that monopolize interest… and the rest consider long dead. It delivers many hours of pure fun (and some discomfort for completionists) and does that in the best way possible. [May 2012]

    In lesser hands, the art design might have overwhelmed everything, leaving the levels to feel like an overly cluttered and repetitive mess. Instead, it's a wonderful platformer with its own unique style that's most definitely worth experiencing, and especially shared.

    A well-written story could have transformed Rayman Origins into a beautiful fairytale. Without it, it's an incredibly fun ride and a great party game.

    Beautiful art, no DRM, and works great with a gamepad. There are plenty of hidden easter eggs and the soundtrack always seems to be spot on.

I wasn't overly optimistic about Rayman becoming a 2.5D side scroll game as a supposed to the 3D adventure style of the past, but it truly was a fantastic gaming experience. The only gripes I have with the game comes down to some of the truly unnecessary difficult moments near the end, every single move during certain segments has to be performed point perfect, it felt like BIT.TRIP.RUNNER but overall it was an awesome game!… Expand

La música y los gráficosUno de los mejores juegos de la saga después de Rayman 2. Los controles son buenísimos y la jugabilidad frenética. La música y los gráficos también son increíbles, sinceramente siento por momentos que estoy en un dibujo animado... Es un juego muy pulido a nivel visual y a nivel jugable, aunque pueda parecer genérico de momentos, la jugabilidad frenética logra que te olvides de esto, y los niveles de perseguir el tesoro están muy bien diseñados. Son instancias muy divertidas y la vas a pasar muy bien. La dificultad ascendiente y la exploración para conseguir skins también es un punto muy positivo (quitando el hecho de que las skins son pocas, y esta todo lleno de simples recolores). Sin embargo, critico el excesivo ensayo y error que tienen el juego, especialmente en el ultimo nivel... Y la falta de modo online para el modo cooperativo. La historia tampoco me gusto. Si bien agradezco que hayan traído de vuelta a Betilla y a los electoons del Rayman 1 después de mucho tiempo... Que paso con el Rayman tierno, valiente y serio del Rayman 2?! No por nada termino siendo mi Rayman favorito de todos. Este tiene el universo y jugabilidad perfecta de la saga.
    Como sea, Rayman Origins a pesar de sus fallos, es uno de mis videojuegos de plataformas favoritos, básicamente es el regreso de Rayman! Rayman es una saga para quedarse :)    … Expand

    In questo gioco la visuale non ti consente di vedere i nemici ed è pure frustrante giocare a sto gioco.
